Hernandez to be Honored at South Texas Winter Baseball Banquet

Jan 25, 2011

CORPUS CHRISTI -

Trey Hernandez has been selected 2010 Texas A&M-Corpus
Christi Player of the Year, the Corpus Christi Hooks announced.
Hernandez will be recognized at the Seventh Annual South Texas
Winter Baseball Banquet on Thursday, February 3, at the Omni
Bayfront Hotel in Corpus Christi.

Hernandez, the former Robstown star, garnered a Second Team
All-Southland Conference selection as a junior first baseman. He
led the conference in slugging percentage (.707) and tied for the
league lead in home runs (17). Hernandez was also among the
Southland's top 10 in five other major offensive categories: RBIs
(63 - T3), on-base percentage (.467 - 5th), total bases (135 -
5th), walks (39 - 7th) and batting average (.361 - 8th).

Hernandez drew attention to himself and the Islanders program
when he was named the Southland Conference Player of the Week and
the Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week to open the 2010
season (Feb. 22-28). Hernandez batted .393 with four home runs and
16 RBI in six games, including a two-HR, four-hit, six-RBI
performance against Nebraska February 26.

Hernandez was also named First Team Preseason All-Southland
Conference today. The senior automatically earned the distinction
by earning Second Team recognition last year and returning for the
2011 season.
